1 / Perfect Welding / Solar Energy / Perfect Charging magicwave 2500/3000 Transtig 2500/3000 / TIG & MMA welding Active Wave technology boosts cost efficiency / Whole system is totally digitised: Power source, welding torches, remote-control units, robot interfaces, PC tools. / Digital signal processor (DSP) regulates and controls the welding process. / Available in 3 versions: Standard, Job and Comfort. Job offers extra functions such as job-mode, and supports cold-wire control and automated applications, while the Comfort version features a plain-text display and extreme ease of operation. / Special program for aluminium: Automatic shaping of the cap on the pointed electrode tip, for perfect root fusion. / TAC function for faster tacking of materials. / As standard: If welding is performed with two power sources, both arcs are synchronised to permit simultaneous welding on both sides. / By automatically adapting to different mains voltages, Multivoltage ensures worldwide useability.

2 WELDING PROPERTIES Simultaneous welding on both sides / When joining plates, you normally have to weld a root pass first. This then has to be ground and back-welded a timeconsuming procedure which you can speed up by welding from both sides simultaneously. In bothsides-simultaneously TIG-AC welding, both arcs have to be synchronised. This is taken care of by the digital MagicWave power sources. Real skill becomes apparent at the end / At the end of the weld, there are two main things to watch out for: The first of these is the end crater. This has to be filled, at a lower amperage. The power sources take care of this, with the end-crater and downslope functions. The second thing is the gas post-flow, to make sure that the electrode and the weld-pool do not oxidise. In the past, the gas post-fl ow had to be set manually. On the digital machines, the ideal postfl ow time is computed automatically. TAC: Spot-by-spot tack welding / Before you can weld, you have to tack. With TAC, one spot is all it takes because the pulsed arc sets the two weldpools in motion, making them jump together, in next to no time, to make one single weld-pool. This works fast, and is a lot easier than the old method. The TAC function is also very useful when light-gauge sheets are being welded without filler metal, as here too, the pulsed arc helps the weldpools to merge more thoroughly. Simply perfect / The ignition plays a vital rôle in TIG welding. On each of the machines, ignition is possible either with or without touchdown. In non-contact ignition, the arc starts immediately with a high-voltage impulse, ensuring perfect ignition right from the first push of the button even when you re using extra-long hosepacks. Touchdown ignition is especially valuable in sensitive areas of application. And the important thing here is to make sure that there are no tungsten inclusions. The digital process control takes good care of this, perfectly controlling the entire sequence. Active Wave ensures peace and quiet / Active Wave makes TIG AC welding a much quieter business: The integrated digital signal processor always computes in real time the waveform that will permit the highest possible arc stability with the lowest possible noiseemission levels. Measurement of these noise levels clearly shows that with Active Wave, even when the machine is delivering 300 A of power, the dba value is still below 80 dba. dba / For sensitive areas of application: Touchdown ignition Noise volume from conventional inverters Reduced noise volume from Active Wave A

3 / Control panel of MW 2500 Job / Control panel of MW 3000 Comfort / Control panel of TT 2500 Standard All plain to see / The machines in this series are available in three different versions Standard, Job and Comfort, each with differing functions. Job, for instance, lets you work in job mode and allows cold-wire control and automated applications. / The Comfort model also includes a number of extra pluspoints, such as the plain-text display. This is unique, in terms of both handling guidance and userfriendliness, and ranks at the very forefront of modern technology. It functions extremely simply and tells it like it is, in plain text. That means no abbreviations, no numerical codes, just straightto-the-point announcements like Main current, Lowered current or Electrode diameter. The additional parameters can be set very conveniently using a navigation menu. The plain-text display is easy to read and absolutely selfexplantory, meaning that anyone can learn to use it straight away. The Comfort control panel lives up to the usual high Fronius standards, and is easy to operate even when wearing gloves. Aluminium is different / Aluminium always needs special treatment. So Fronius have made sure that it gets it. For example, in TIG AC welding, aluminium is normally not welded with a pointed electrode tip, but with a shaped cap at the tip of the electrode. On fillet welds, this leads to inadequate root fusion. The MagicWave machines use a pointed electrode with a much smaller shaped cap. This results in perfect root fusion. The cap is shaped automatically, by the way, which means huge time-savings. All you need to do is clamp the pointed electrode into the electrode holder and preselect the cap diameter, and the arc then immediately forms the shape and size of cap that you want. Another interesting function enables you to make variable adjustments to the AC waveform, giving the welder reliable weld-pool control even at high amperages.

5 Small on size, big on quality the ideal welding torch for this power class / Of all the components of the welding system that execute a work function, the welding torch is the most important. You can have the world s most advanced power source and its very best welder but if the hosepack is under constant strain, it will still spoil the welding result. Fronius is well aware of this, too. Which is why it is continually developing and improving its welding torches for instance by adding the watercooled TIG-welding torch TTW 2500, for the power class up to 250 A. / For the power class up to 300 A, other Fronius welding torches can be used as well, of course. Mention should also be made of the TIG welding torch with its integral coldwire feeder unit for manual and automated coldwire applications. / Its ergonomically designed handle-shell is smaller and so fits even better in the welder s hand - in fact, it can even be held like a pencil. The up/down rockers are easy to actuate while wearing gloves. The handleshell also integrates a perfect anti-kink feature: The hosepack flexes more quickly, resulting in more precise torch guidance. Importantly for uninterrupted water cooling, the hosepack itself cannot be endlessly rotated. A final, economic, argument is that the wearing parts from other Fronius welding torches are all compatible with the TTW Welding torch TTW 2500 TTW 3000 Welding current AC DC 180 A 250 A 250 A 300 A Duty cycle 40 % 60 % Electrode diameter 1,0-3,2 mm in. 1,0-3,2 mm in.
